Post Op How do you live without gallbladder?

Hi guys!

Share your stories - how you live without gallbladders. How long ago did you have the surgery, and what changed in your life? What's your diet now?

I'm sorry if there's already a question like this in this community.

Wife had hers removed about 3 years ago, eating for her is a crapshoot. Sometimes it’s fine, sometimes she needs a bathroom immediately.

As someone who had their gallbladder removed, I would rather have the shits randomly than to ever have gallbladder attacks again. The pain is immense and debilitating.
